#PancakeDay Round-Up – 11 Pancakes for you to relish

Presenting to you a round up of the 11 pancake recipes on Saffrontrail.com. These pancakes range from the American style fluffy oatmeal pancakes to the desi chilas and dosas (which, admit it, are also a kind of pancake!).

On the occasion of Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day, presenting to you a round up of the 11 pancake recipes on Saffrontrail. These pancakes range from the American style fluffy oatmeal pancakes to the desi chilas and dosas (which, admit it, are also a kind of pancake!). Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of the Lent fasting period. Pancake Day is also called Mardi Gras in some other places (New Orleans, for example) which is French for Fat Tuesday 🙂 So here’s to fattening up with pancakes (or not, as we have quite some healthy options for you here).

Presenting the 11 Pancakes – sweet, savoury, desi, videsi!

Breakfast pancakes

Since my last post, I've been in Pondicherry, Chennai and then Goa. It was a wonderful last week of 2006 and ushering the new year in Goa was some experience. The hustle bustle and the excitement along with the calmness of the sea is something that must be experienced to be understood. The past week

Recipe for Eggless Triple Blueberry Pancakes

When I was a kid, my favourite fruit was Nagpur oranges. When in season, my grandfather would buy them by the dozens and I could just eat them non-stop. While my 6 year old loves oranges, his current favourite fruit is…wait for it…blueberries! Crazy right? I stock up on the frozen variety, so he

Eggless Buckwheat Crepes : Health on a plate

Last Saturday, I looked at my dinner plate and I felt "Damn, it should be illegal to eat this healthy on a Saturday night." Yes it was so good that it was bad. And we were watching a brilliant brilliant series to add all the necessary wickedness and spice to this healthy plate. You may think food bl

Besan Cheela stuffed with Paneer Bhurji

If you are from the South of Vindhyas, cheela / chila is not a much heard of term. It is a staple North Indian breakfast dish. To put it in simple terms, it is like an instant dosa made using besan. However unlike adai, which is a lentil based dosa preparation, cheelas are much thinner and crepe lik

Savoury pancakes with mushrooms and onions

Who doesn't like mildly sweet spongy pancakes all dripping with maple syrup? There weren't many pancake-serving places in Mumbai earlier so my first brunch with a stack o' pancakes was in at the IHOP in Rochester, NY. My favourite being the multigrain pancakes, which had the grainy bits within and a

Savoury multigrain yeast pancakes

These savoury pancakes make for a quick breakfast or dinner. The key ingredient here which isn't usually used in pancakes results in soft fluffy pancakes. And that does away with the need for eggs, milk or baking powder.

4 Lentil Pancake ( Paruppu Adai )

Traditionally Adai (South Indian Lentil Pancake ) is made with a mixture of lentils in a certain proportion. This is my own version. Sometimes, you have a little bit of all dals remaining in your pantry, then this is the best way to clean up all those bottles. You have soak the dals and then grind

Onion Rava Dosai with Spicy Tomato Chutney

Thinking about calories is taboo on weekends, so says me! After a extremely fulfilling Asian dinner** last night at our favourite Lemongrass Cafe – Bandra, we wanted to continue the good food times into Sunday morning.

  • Any place I visit, markets are a must go for me. The Central Market in Port Louis did not disappoint.

  • Lunch at the restaurant within the sugar museum l'aventure du sucre - their dessert Chocolate Fondant alone is said to be worth traveling to this restaurant. It was a truly decadent dessert. The main was an Indian thali which looked better than it tasted. . This is a good attraction for the whole family with a large museum built in the earstwhile Beau Plan factory, the restaurant, a store where you can buy 12 kinds of sugar and the New Grove rum store. Swipe to see all the photos. . #STxMRU #saffrontrail #discovermauritius
  • Woke up at 5 this morning, did a video call with my son, told him about my plans for the day. Brewed a cup of coffee in the room and then went out to watch the sky colours at sunrise. A yoga session with the teacher at the hotel facing the sea and the blue skies followed by breakfast. I had an avocado on toast and a flat white. The avo toast had my fav kinda topping ie toasted seeds and also a bit of sting from the chilli oil 😋 This is at The Restaurant at Salt of Palmar @saltresorts #wearesalt . Now we are off to explore some parts of Mauritius. Stay tuned to my stories for the sightseeing updates 🌞🌞🌞 . I'm on this trip with @mtpaindia to #discovermauritius #STxMRU

  • My son and me bond a lot over food and cooking. . Watching episodes of Masterchef Australia together, discussing the dishes made by each of the contestants and wondering what we can replicate in our kitchen is one of our favorite things to do. In fact, watching this series has been a learning experience for him in combining textures and flavors in a dish. He has a keen sense of taste and it's no surprise that he is the main taster of all the dishes I make. . When I first taught him how to make ginger tea, he prepared a chart of the timings, ingredients etc. to get it right every single time just the way mummy likes it 😍 . Today for Mother's Day, I wanted to teach him how to make a mango shake a little bit fancier with the additional of a couple of unusual ingredients. We reached out for the convenient packets of MilkLane milk, which we prefer because it is safe from any toxins, antibiotics and has no preservatives or adulterants. We also made use of seasonal ripe mangoes, dried rose petals and sabja (basil seeds) to make these pretty looking milk shakes. Here's the recipe: . To make 2 cups . 1.5 cups MilkLane milk 1 large ripe mango, peeled and cubed 1 tsp dried rose petals (you can also use Gulkand) 2-3 ice cubes . for garnish: 1 tsp sabja seeds pinch of dried rose petals 1 tsp of finely diced mango -- In a blender, blend 1 cup milk with 1 tsp dried rose petals, mango cubes + ice cubes until you get a smooth texture. Divided this between two cups or glasses. Divide the remaining 1/2 cup milk between the two glasses, sprinkling the sabja seeds over the milk. Garnish with crumbled dried rose petals and tiny pieces of mango. Serve chilled. .
